Why does pressure drops in a nozzle?

Pressure drops in a nozzle due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as the fluid accelerates through the nozzle. This decrease in pressure is necessary for the fluid to reach a higher velocity.


What happens with the potential energy when objects drops?

When an object drops, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground. As the object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases until it reaches the ground, where it has no more potential energy but maximum kinetic energy.


When energy leaves an object its temperature drops and the value for heat is?

When energy leaves an object, its temperature drops because the object loses thermal energy. The value for heat is a measure of the amount of thermal energy transferred between systems due to a temperature difference.


What happens to the energy In a ball when it drops to the floor?

When a ball drops to the floor, the potential energy it had due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact with the floor, some of this energy is absorbed by both the ball and the floor, resulting in sound and heat energy.


Where is the maximum and minimum kinetic and potential energy found as a ball drops?

A ball at rest contains only potential energy. A ball in motion contains almost all kinetic energy. But it gets tricky here. A free falling ball that has not yet reached terminal velocity has no potential energy. That energy is being given up to kinetic energy. Once the ball reaches terminal velocity in Earth's atmosphere, air resistance holds back further conversion of potential energy to kinetic.

It depends on the viscosity of the fluid, but the common rule of thumb for liquids is 18-20 drops per ml (20 drops being the accepted conversion rate for pharmacological purposes).
